Peter Sutherland – Colorado

Mostra personale.

Comunicato stampa

In May 2021, Spazio Maiocchi reopens its doors with an exhibition and book by American artist and photographer Peter Sutherland, curated by KALEIDOSCOPE and supported by Carhartt WIP and Slam Jam.

Titled Colorado, the exhibition at Spazio Maiocchi will feature a new body of work comprised of medium- and large-format framed photographs, a new series of collages, and a billboard commission.

After 20 years in New York, during lockdown Sutherland decided to leave the city and move back to his native Colorado—resulting in a body of work brimming with nature, punctuated by hikes, camping, and fortuitous encounters.

In the artist's own words, “A lot of my work is autobiographical: I’ve used photography to document my own experiences—and being from Colorado, nature was always part of those experiences. Many New Yorkers see nature as a vacation space, but even after all those years there, I’ve never lost the sense of the city being the vacation spot, and nature being home.”

The accompanying book by the same title, designed by Swiss art direction firm Kasper-Florio, will feature the complete series of photographs and collages, and a conversation with Leo Fitzpatrick.

Peter Sutherland (American, b. 1976) is a photographer and mixed-media artist. His work has been exhibited in institutions and galleries worldwide, including the Contemporary Art Museum, St Louis; Galerie Rodolphe Janssen, Brussels; White Cube, London; Zabludowicz Collection, London.
